Big round numbers
round # of 6000 approaching, sp now at 5973. the octet rule in chemistry: the concentration of stops at rounds. what else causes inordinate concentration? limit orders tend to be concentrated at round numbers. many compounds lose electrons to reach a stable, nonreactive 8. tests show that when a stock breaks thru a round number, it is bullish.
The Octet Rule: Help, Definition, and Exceptions
The Octet Rule is a general rule that is used to describe chemical bonding and draw Lewis Structures. The rule states that Main Group elements form bonds in a manner that results in each atom having eight valence electrons in the highest energy level (sometimes called outer shell). This results in each atom having the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
